And, as they were going forth, they found a man of Cyrene, by name, Simon, - the same, they impressed to bear his cross.

And, coming into a place called Golgotha, that is to say, Skull-place,

they gave him to drink, wine, with gall, mingled, and, tasting, he would not drink.

And, having crucified him, they parted among themselves his garments, casting a cloth;

and, being seated, were watching him there.

And they put up, over his head, his accusation, written - THIS, IS JESUS, THE KING OF THE JEWS.

Then, are crucified with him, two robbers, - one on the right hand, and one on the left.

And, they who were passing by, were reviling him, shaking their heads,

and saying - The man that taketh down the Temple and in three days buildeth it! Save, thyself! If thou art God's, Son, come down from the cross.

Likewise, the High-priests, also, mocking, with the Scribes and Elders, were saying: Others, he saved, - Himself, he cannot save:

Israel's King, he is! Let him come down, now, from the cross, - and we will believe on him!

He hath put confidence upon God, Let him rescue him, now, if he desireth him; for he said, I am, God's Son.

And, the same thing, the robbers also, who were crucified with him, were casting in his teeth.
